  • Shopping may be in order.  For something very expensive.  Like furniture.  Or diamonds.  (Not really)
  • Or a vacation.  A nice room in a quiet place.  By myself.
  • Maybe just a day in the city.  A hair appointment.  A coffee.  A walk along the water.  By myself.
  • Maybe an art or craft project.
  • Wine would be nice.  So very nice.  Alas.
  • One thing I will begin this day is a freshening of the home.  Open all the windows, strip all the bedclothes, wash all the pillows, sheets, towels and throws.  Scrub away all traces.
  • I need to get back into a good head space.  Back to my old self.  That nice person with an easy smile.  She who I can barely remember.  I hope it doesn’t take too long to find her.

I didn’t go to the airport. And I really did have meetings. Three of them. Honest! (Seriously. I really did.)

Do it all! Except the wine. Buy a jewel – it doesn’t have to be be diamonds. Do take the time to be utterly self indulgent.

It is over.

Rest. Peace. And funny chicken jokes!

Yes, I agree, do as many of those things as you can! The Australian (and probably the French) rules of motherhood say that small amounts of wine are permissible in the third trimester as all parts of your baby have been made and only need to grow bigger by then. Well, that’s what I think anyway. Little glass with your dinner, hmmmm? …

I hope your visitors thanked you nicely before departure?
